Perhaps you need to install DBI mysql drivers or similar. The way to troubleshoot is to look at the asterisk FULL log for a line that says something like Executing /usr/local/fop2/recording_fop2.pl blah blah blah Where blah blah blha are the actual parameters of the command being executed. Copy the whole command, and then in the command line run that very same command, as the "asterisk" user if you run asterisk with any user other than root. If there are errors, you will see them on the console. My bet is that you have some missing perl modules, most probably perl DBI or DBI-mysql Best regards,

Indeed, yesterday when I posted my message, I thought the same thing . I went checking my context and I now know whats wrong. I used a sub context in which the external line was not included. I switch the the "main" context in which it was included and now it works like a charm. Of course the problem with the phonebook is now also solved. Only thing which I think to be weird, is that asterisk with option -rvvvvvvvvvv wouldn't show me any message until I tried with another extension. But that's not you fault, that's an asterisk "fail". Thank you for your quick response! Now I can let our reception work with it and if they like it I will get back to you
